Package: links
Version: 0.99+1.00pre12-1
Followup-For: Bug #296341

links-0.99+1.00-pre12-1 does not seem to be vulnerable to CAN-2004-1616,
AFAICT.  Just spawning links gives:
$ ps auxw | grep links$
trini     7990  0.0  0.1  2656  820 pts/12   S+   09:52   0:00 links

Then going to the test page in question:
$ ps auxw | grep links$
trini     7998  0.0  0.2  2844 1328 pts/12   S+   09:54   0:00 links

(launching links to the page gives just 2656 for mem usage).  Letting it
sit does not increase memory usage at all (which is unlike lynx which
has the similar problem in CAN-2004-1617, which does eat memory quickly).

I have not performed a source code audit to see if perhaps the problem
is with the exploit, however.
